I want to buy Edward a tiller for our new veggie garden in France, at
the moment it is a field! He mentioned Howard Gem in a conversation a
few weeks ago, anyone know anything about them?


Judith, can't you ask one of your French farmer neighbours, if you have any,
if they would plough the field for you. Friends of mine get help from their
neighbours in return for the odd English cake and fruit from their trees.


Thank you Road Hog and Bob. I have not explained adequately. Lauren,
our lovely neighbour farmer was asked by us if we could buy or lease
some land from him next to our garden to make a veggie garden. He
said we could mark out what we wanted and use it free so it is not an
entire field!!! It will just be a veggie garden but Edward's back is
not as strong as it was hence the tiller. Lauren will plough it, I
was thinking for subsequent years and as Edward has a birthday coming
up, a tiller is in order. Thank you and Road Hog for great advice.
